Panasonic Lumix Link 4+

This app has lots of potential but lots of room for much needed improvement.
The inability to stop video recording from the app makes it pretty much useless. WiFi connectivity and the transfer of photos are buggy at times. I can get the app to xfer pictures to my IOS devices but the Transfer While Shooting(Recording) does not work. Correct me if I'm wrong but It won't transfer Raw files, only jpegs. I'm a pro photographer and shoot in Raw. I generally don't shoot in both Raw and Fine Jpeg. Also I use a iMac 27 and the app will not find my Mac on my network. Some positive things to say.... When it does connects the remote functions for still photography are very good and useful, much better than a traditional remote...and easier to use. There is enough control in the remote for most functions of the camera. The user interface for stills is also pretty good. So Panasonic please listen to the feedback and fix the bugs, Xfer issues and inadequate video function. Oh I am using this app with my Lumix GH3, iPad 3, and iPhone 6 and an iMac 27. I ask that when others review please list your gear as this is helpful for others to know.

I was really excited to try this app, but it seems sadly broken when used with the combination of iPod Touch 4G and Lumix ZS30.

Most critically, when I take a picture using the remote, I invariably get a "Please wait" notification and the application freezes while, I presume, it downloads the picture to the iPod. Except that it never seems to finish, and I don't want the picture on the iPod (and there's apparently no way to prevent this). I just want to use the iPod as a remote shutter release so I can take pictures of wildlife.

Sometimes I will get the live view but the controls will be disabled for no apparent reason, preventing me from zooming or taking a picture.

Although the screenshots above show that the user can change f-stop and focus points, those features are apparently only enabled for the DSC-GH3, even though the ZS30 is a later camera.

The WiFi also has a disappointingly short range. It was struggling to connect much past 25 feet, and sometimes much shorter distances.

The interface is clunky, but I could live with that if the functionality was robust.

So, the application kind of ,sort of works, but it could be so much better.

this is not good i am trying to give a try but all the review are bad about this app it won’t make me to take a decision in get this app, i know is that some of the applications from Panasonic are really slow in transferring pictures from the camera to my lap top and when you try to edit them is even worst super slow as hell when i have a decent laptop an iMac pro and is good when i work on my pictures from my NIKKON camera but the files are as big twice as big as the panasonic Lumix pic and i get them transferred really fast to to my laptop with the panasonic application it take long time my my laptop slow down a lot using it….. well have deal with for now….
